Fillable pdf forms and Framemaker documents

I believe you can add a fillable PDF form to the .PDF of a FrameMaker
book after the fact, with Acrobat, but I don't think you can embed a
working form into a FM file. FM treats imported .pdfs as graphics.

A third party outfit, such as Microtype, may make some kind of add-in,
but if you were going to keep it simple, I think you essentially want
to merge .pdfs late in the production steps, after both the .pdf book
and .pdf form have been created.
